An armored door with a face recognition for your cat 🤩

愛猫の顔を認識して開閉するペットドア
少し前に開発されたらしいが大きな反響を呼んでいる
確かにどんな猫でも通れるなら飼ってる猫じゃなくても通れちゃうわけだ
他の猫が家の中に入るのを防ぐために製造された顔認識機能付きキャットドア
さらに最近は進化し新たな機能が追加された
スイスの企業が開発したのだが
猫が飼い主さんにおみやげとばかりに持ち込む小動物
小鳥や鼠を持ち込もうとするとこれを認識しドアロックしてしまう
猫にとっては大事な獲物でも人間にとっては大迷惑
特に鼠なんかは怖い病原菌も持っている
しかしこの顔認識なんだけど
猫の顔は人間ほど個体によって違いがないことが多い
本当に正確に我が家の猫だけ認識してくれるのか疑問である
その辺を調べるとやはり精度はまだまだのようで
たまに間違えるらしい
そのため猫にICチップを埋め込み2段階認証で正確性を高めてる
ペットの世界もどんどんIC化されていきますね
肝心なお値段はというと400ドル
つまり日本円で6万円をこえるくらいだから高額だ
When the pet door, which recognizes the face of the cat and opens and closes, came out in the world, a new pet door equipped with AI technology was developed by a Swiss venture company.
Created by a company called Flappie, the pet door automatically locks cats when they try to bring in prey they catch from outside.
A motion sensor and a night vision camera are installed outside the door.And inside the door, there are several manual switches that can be locked or unlocked at any time and the prey detection system can be turned off.
The AI mounted on the door is trained not to let pets in when they are carrying something, and the door is unlocked as soon as they drop their prey.One of Flappie’s co-founders admits that “a clever cat might drop a mouse and let it open the door, and find a way to pick it up and run in right away,” but most cats wouldn’t think of it.
In addition, Flappie is equipped with a microchip detection function on the door, allowing only cats with consistent chip information to open when their cats are equipped with microchips.In face recognition, other cats may be invited in with the wrong perception, but chip detection will greatly increase the certainty.
The door is linked to the app, so owners can control it with their smartphones at any time.Even if it’s not connected to the Internet, it works with the system of the door itself, so you don’t have to worry.
Flappie plans to launch the pet door in Switzerland and Germany after this spring, and plans to expand its sales area further as production increases.It costs $399 in U.S. dollars and $8.90 a month for an app that lets you watch all of your pet videos recorded by a door camera. It’s not cheap, but it’ll be of great help to families who are having trouble catching birds and mice.
The only thing that worries me is whether cats who really don’t want to let go of their prey will stay out all night without entering the house…No, before that happens, a “warning” will probably reach the owner’s smartphone.
